What Your CPA Isn't Telling You

Life-Changing Tax Strategies

By: Mark J. Kohler

Narrated by: Mark J. Kohler

This is a powerful story woven around one theme: Tax planning can change your life.

Tackling the fundamental question asked by all taxpayers - How can I save on taxes? - attorney and CPA Mark J. Kohler empowers you to dismiss standard CPA viewpoints like "your tax payment is what it is" and "you just make too much money."

Simplified through the mastery of storytelling, Kohler invites you to immerse yourself in the compelling tale of a typical family's tax awakening. Through their journey, you'll discover critical but underutilized tax strategies to achieve huge tax savings, greater wealth, and ultimately, a winning pursuit of the American dream.

Not what was expected

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

It is a very well written story, however he refers to what his previous CPA didn't tell him, and going over business plans for having a small business. He doesn't get into actual details that don't revolve around him, but often just states you need to ask your CPA.

Has What Your CPA Isn't Telling You turned you off from other books in this genre?

Not really, it did have a few good ideas, that he had followed and was given. I would have preferred his CPA to write the book.

Would you be willing to try another one of Mark J. Kohler’s performances?

Possibly, he reads well

Appendices?

Any additional comments?

Does anyone know how to access the appendices of this book? When I purchase a book, expect to be able to have access to ALL of the book, especially when the author refers to the appendix many times throughout... maybe web access somewhere?

From one CPA to another

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It is hard to write a book about tax strategies and I give Mr. Kohler credit with the creativity of telling a story. The reviews on Amazon were much more positive so it may be a book that needs to be read. The sound quality was not up to usual standards although the author gave it his best, there should have been some editing. I found the story moved too slow with a payoff that was less then I hoped for.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I liked that the PDF for Appendix B was available and that will be a good visual resource.
I believe the recommendations to start a business andor do rental Real Estate is solid but takes a great deal of work.
The major opinion on the self directed IRA as something "the Wall Street Machine" does not want you to know about is very questionable advice. Financial planners and investment people make less but CPAs and custodians make a lot more. I am not saying it can not work; but after researching it for my clients, there are many fees, traps, and hassles...be careful! It sounds great in theory to start a business or buy property inside a qualified account but you still have to follow through on making money. The great part of investing is you put up the capital and others do the work!

Vital information!!

I wish I had read the book all those years ago. I would probably be in a better position financially then I am in the present. My CPA hasn’t told me about any of these tax strategies and I wish she had. Or, I now know what to ask her about the strategies now. Thanks for an excellent book.

Thank God I got this book

This is one of the best thing that ever happen to me, openning my sight to wealth opportunities.

Great Content Horrible Narration

This is almost impossible to listen to. The Narrator constantly fumbles over words, makes awkward pauses, and backtracks to correct. I have never heard an audiobook with such poor narration. It’s a shame because the content is solid in an easy story type format to understand

Absolutely awesome

I am a small business owner with more time to listen than to do anything else... I am often working with my hands and doing things by myself allowing me plenty of time to soak up education... This my friends is a great book for tax education, simple and concise, kind of humorous at the same time. I have been a fan of the rich dad series and listened to and read about 6-7 books from their line, this is right on par and a lot shorter... Less technical but still really helpful to get your pallet wet. I am definitely going to purchase Mark's other books. Slightly poor recording of him reading the book (you can pages turning and sometimes a slight noise in the background) however not at all a deterrent to great material! Get it and you won't be disappointed

gets you excited but not a lot of meat

he read his own book and stutters quite a bit and u can hear pages turning but he is enthusiastic and interesting to listen to. the entire book is his explanation of what his business minded cpa told him in a seminar he attended. i dont know if it is fictional and used as a story base for the information he wants to share (much like how there is no rich dad or poor dad in real life). i already own two businesses and i felt like i didnt learn much. this was more of elementary reasons to start a business in order to save taxes rather than details on how to do better book keeping to write of travel expenses. im glad i listened to it but i didnt learn a lot

Thank you!!

Thank you for taking the time to do this book it was very informative. Now when I start another business I feel like I'm better prepared.

Excellent resource. Game Changer!

Loved it! What a beautiful creation to share with the masses. I have learned so much. Thank you Mark & Team!
